Lambeth Council has imposed new licensing restrictions on live reggae music venue Hootananny which is seriously endangering its future.

The legendary South London pub will now be shut down if anyone is allowed in after 11pm.

The owners are campaigning to change this, but in the meantime have advised the public to get there before 11pm to avoid being turned away. The pub is applying for a licence review to change the hours, which could take up to two months to complete, but the owners fear the restriction could spell the end of the venue as it is.
